    Secret Labs Titan chair

    I don't remember what thread I detailed it in... But I have a Frankenchair which laughs at time. I found a great chair in terms of cushion/support and now just keep replacing parts on it as needed (casters, gas tube, seat covers and covers for the arm rests) It was a Serta chair with legit...

    Car Insurance / Home Insurance

    If anybody in DFW finds a good solid broker let me know.. I'm also at the "have had the same insurance for years and I'm pretty sure I'm getting ripped off" juncture.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    OK, welcome friends to the Saturday edition of "Haus has his jimmies mildly rustled by this generation being weak ass bitches" The wife and I went to a family cookout today. Her side of the family, pretty big turnout, great time. All they asked us to bring was watermelon, which I'm always...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    I remember a time when seeing a bag of pills in my GFs purse meant a selection of ways to get screwed up in the course of the weekend... Now, I see a bag of pills in my wife's purse and can quickly identify... "migraine... anti-inflamatory.... allergy.... antacid..." and I'm pretty such just...

    Investing General Discussion

    Totes. Cheaper labor is what plants crave. As for deploying into the market. I know I'm the boring ass individual around here, but I've just been DCA'ing regular buys every month at a rate of "half of whatever my commission check for the month is". Split between XLK, HDV, and some into URNM...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    OK. I'm gonna ask this here because I'm just not seeing a path for a lot of things in crypto right now. Seeing what's happening to ETH, Seeing the fact that XRP is still struggling to get footing for actual use cases, I'm left with looking at being a BTC Maximalist as almost the only really...

    Post Your Pet

    Both our pups have mild hip and back knee arthritis. So they literally have a script for low dose meloxicam once a day. Which actually gets to the fun pet story of the day. One has some more pain and they gave her daily gabapentin too. @Mrs. Haus and I give the dogs their medicine. We...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It honestly seems like they felt they had to do something "radical" as a departure from their normal... The problem is people who love Ferraris love that normal, they WANT that normal. Why couldn't they have just taken a traditional Ferrari style body and started there, modifying where needed...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yeah.. Watching Bloomberg this morning their people were saying things like "If a monster chewed up a Prius and a Leaf and then spit something up it would look like this" and "If this were released as a $50k Apple iCar it would be selling like hotcakes"

    Aquarists unite: fish are friends, and food

    OK. Interesting story about that tank I had a pic up up above. As mentioned, yes I have to continually clip and prune out water sprite. Well. I decided I'd try something. Also a couple of those mollies did what they do and spit out a asston of fry at one point a couple months ago. (not long...

    South Park

    So the 29th season will be.... 5 episodes? Somehow that doesn't seem like a real "season" to me. And yes, I know it's because I'm an old. heh

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    My inner cynic has to chime in on this one... Training a bunch of fresh out of college kids means getting them up to speed to handle the essentials, plus use AI to accelerate their ramp up. Then what do you have? A bunch of kids who don't know what market value for good coders is and a...
